Agra HotelsAgra is a city boiling with history and culture, and the remarkable fact is that due to all the numerous foreign invasions both by rulers and cultures, there is huge debris of architectural heritage in Agra, or Agraban, as it was known as in the Mahabharata. This charmed city can boast of the most magnificent monuments in the world, including three world heritage monuments naming Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. The Agra hotels also replicate the same charm and aura to keep intact the ambiance of the city.Oberoi Amar Vilas This hotel boasts to be the only hotel with uninterrupted, clear views of the Taj Mahal.

If like me you are an avid follower of the satellite (or digital) station channel Dave then you will probably have watched every single episode that has ever been made of a programme called Top Gear. Now, you would have to have been living under a substantially hefty rock for the past couple of decades to have never heard of Top Gear, but for those of you who are, shall we say, less enlightened I will lay out the basics.It is essentially a programme that tests cars; how good, fast, colourful, cool and exciting they can be. Or at least, this was how it was in the old days. Nowadays the presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May tear across the planet doing ridiculous things for our entertainment and then do a little bit about cars in between. Recent shenanigans have seen them try to turn cars into amphibious vehicles, make an indestructible 4x4, see who can get to a distant location in Europe faster (out of May and Hammond taking planes and public transport and Clarkson driving an impossibly rapid sports car) and their coup de gras was trying to build a space shuttle out a Robin Reliant. The explosion was extraordinary.However, one of my favourite episodes (and due...more
